| A non-christian colleague knowing that I'm a christian asked me yesterday if it was okay for me to be with a non-christian, personally. I felt quite difficult to answer that question. Indeed, we know what is written in His Word, 2 Corinthians 6:14. That would mean the answer should be a 'No'. But when we are in love with a non-christian, the question here would be, will we choose to follow His Word or to just follow our own heart desire? Well, I believe values and standards are different from non-christian. The colleague even commented that there are people who are in a relationship with a non-christian will try very hard to convert the partner into Christianity. But is it just because they want a Christian partner? I believe Christianity is a personal walk with God, your own faith and belief in Him. I have heard cases where relationship with a non-christian does not last long, and in the end they don't get together because the Christian knows it is wrong to enter into one, and the person gets hurt. At times, it really makes me wonder what is right and what is wrong now. Is it okay to be with a non-christian? On another note, I look at one of my christian friend's life. He was a Christian leader, and yet he gave up his post in serving, when he chose to be with a non-christian, because he knows it's wrong, I think. But he's still enjoying his life. He knows the Word of God quite well. At one point in time, being his friend, i was indeed sad and disappointed in the decision he made, but we all just have to respect his decision. I guess at some point, when a Christian makes a decision to be with a non-christian, the Christian's heart is hardened. Hebrews 3:13. It creates loss of sensitivity, thus hindering our ability to hear God's voice. In our walk/journey, there can be many temptations indeed. Luke 4:1-13.
Forgiveness.. Reconciliation.. Have i really forgiven the person who had hurt me? And has the person truly forgiven me yet? I was reading this book 'Bait of Satan'.

| Signed up really late for iBridge camp. Glad i went for it. I should learn to reflect God in my workplace. Sabbath. Heard about other people's challenges at work n etc as they shared. It was quite a good break-away from work. Work has become quite mundane, i guess. Where is the joy again? Hopefully I can apply the things I learnt from camp to real working life. The phrase that caught my attention was 'Walking out of God's will, will bring disappointment and only temporary joy. It does not bring fulfillment.' A bunch of us went to bentong for the famous hand-made ice cream and also to bukit tinggi, aka the japanese garden and french village.
After the camp, few of the cf-ians headed to malacca for a day trip. Chicken rice ball, durian cendol and satay celup were the yummylicious food we indulged in. Visited the Christ Church and museums. Enjoyed my holiday... Whee!!! =D
Hope I wont feel anything, just because he reminds me of him.

Having mixed feelings about that.. Dont know why.
